WBTV reports one of the proposals being considered would fill the property with an elementary school, a park, green space, office buildings, shopping plazas and residential buildings. There is also talk of extending Charlotte’s controversial streetcar line to the site."

I know exactly what Charlotte will do here, another Shopping Center. That is all Charlotte knows how to build. The Big Boxes will come in and it will be as generic as the rest of Charlotte.

Default The City is not Growing

Charlotte is a large suburb, The city is not growing, just knocking down something a rebuilding a apartment complex.
The city limits are further out there but the city is not growing. Charlotte just builds the same housing development and shopping center over and over and calls it growing.

The Big Boxes will close in the old shopping center and re-open in the new shopping center. Thats not growing.

Retail always shifts toward demographic movements. More people want to live closer to the CBD & that's why you see all these apartments & the infill trend is likely to stay as Mecklenburg runs out of large relatively cheap greenfield space.

Sounds like 90% of the cities in modern America. Not unique to Charlotte. New highway/road, new apartments, new retail (usually big boxes and strip malls).

Uptown and the surrounding areas have impressive and more dense growth however.
